Seperating Apparatus for DMT extraction

Ok, so I was wondering if anyone knew another seperating apparatus I could use for seperating the Naptha from the other stuff when using a Acid/Base extraction called "DMT for the Masses" I don't really have the money for a seperatory funnel so is there anything else I would be able to use? P.S. I know I should post this on "DMT-Nexus.com" but no one ever anwsers any of my questions there :wall:.
 
Freezer bag, a pair of scissors and your index finger + thumb.

Could get more creative like doin' the sep in a 2 liter bottle, and putting a hole in the cap. cover the hole with tape, invert and remove tape to remove layers later.

I've used the freezer bag idea for some stuff, but I still prefer a glass container of some kind.
 
Ok... well I also wondered if the DMT had to be in a powder or coudl it still be in little strands. I just put some Root Bark in a coffee grinder and all the powder stuck to the side and there was still strands of bark left... Would it just be better to use a blender :shock:

Generally speaking, the more fine a substance is, the easier the solvents do their work.. although, it strikes me as awkward that when making ayahuasca you're actually not supposed to grind the root, but pound it or pulp it if you will.

To be honest though, I don't think strands will make much of a difference as long as your technique is good with mixing solvents and the actual extraction process.

Well, to be an ass, technically naptha isn't an acid or a base. The extraction you are doing is a polar/non-polar extraction. And yes, to answer your question those will work.
 
heh it's no big deal man.. this isn't a DMT site either, so it's not expected to be one's expertise. If you need any advice or help I will do my best to do so.
peace
 
my first batch is drying now and i was worried when i didn't see crystals, but now the beads of water are crystalizing! I used a turkey baster. Good percision!
 
waiting for your lye? Don't you have a local grocery store? lol they all carry Sodium Hydroxide.

Um last I checked that was an a/b extraction. You are correct about polar/non-polar but half right about the a/b. Vinegar and lye are the reason its and a/b extraction.

Did I say acetic acid was not an acid? I know vinegar is an acid, but I wouldn't recommend using it when you can go to a pool supply or paint supply store and buy Hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) and it's much more efficient.

But in reference to Naptha, petrolium distillates are neither acidic or basic.
 
Ok, well I just got my Lye to day :hug: and was thinking about starting the extraction today. Would I just be able to seperate the layers with an eye dropper? Also if anyone has done the extraction i'm talking about. About how long does it take to do. Also I don't have a scale... would I be able to do the measurements for lye by tbsps or some other way.:confused:

Congrats. Okay, if you use an eyedropper, use on with a glass pipette and when you suck it up into the pipette, stop before it enters the rubber bulb (JoeBananas made the plastic comment above said it for a reason, but the rubber used in bulbs can be damaged by acids and bases.

What are you using for your DMT source, as I am not familiar with a tge extraction. http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dmt/extraction_guide1/dmt_extraction_guide1.shtml

Timing varies on your extraction method. Some of them can be done within one to two days, and others take up to around a week to complete.
 
Heh sorry didn't re-read my comment. tge ment to be "the" because I thought I already mentioned it in an earlier post but I guess not. Well i'm planning on using "DMT for the Masses" extraction method http://www.erowid.org/plants/mimosa/mimosa_chemistry1.shtml
. It says it will only take about a day. I read an experience of DMT on erowid and a guy talked about using it, so I guess it's legit.
 
Ah my bad. I didn't know if that was an abbreviation... not trying to be a dick. One day it is then, yeah I figured you'd be using mimosa. Good stuff.
